..in a big(er) body. Well, not always always..
But I always felt inside smaller than I was on the outside.
When Mr. B and I were dating, it was brought to my attention by several of the might I say, more envious of the waitresses we worked with, that he had always been drawn to shorter girls.
I was not heavy at that time, but short? Nah. 5' 5" ..not too tall, but not "petite" by any means.
I tried working on 'short' but never could get it.
I know, I know ..never say never..but short? Seriously?
Didn't happen.
Bygones.
Now, this little friend of Owen's is BIG in a little body..
And because of Owen's love of exploring...Kathy keeps him on a short leash...literally.
That way at the off leash dog park, if she needs to quickly stop his wanderlust, she can catch up with him and step on the leash.
Eh, sounds feasible to me.
But Polo is a small dog. S.m.a.l.l. Little..the mere essence of a dog..
Did that stop him?
Nope.
Did being short-deficient, vertically enhanced, too-tall-Jones stop me from bamboozling having Mr. B fall in love with me?
Nope.
So, the moral of this story is..uh, you can't get short..?
No, if you're a little dog, go ahead an act like a big dog. You may just be....
Have you ever accomplished something you thought you couldn't?
{Besides being short-er and if you have, I really don't want to hear about it, OK?}

To answer your question: Yes, I managed to learn sewing although I was sure I won't be able to. I was very proud of this at the time and I put my knowledge in practice making my Mom a whole new gardrobe.
That is one little Pooch with a Big character. Remember what our mums said? Good things come in little parcels. I am shorter than you by an inch.
Someone once told me that dog's have no idea of their size...that's why little dogs will take on big dogs. I don't know if that's true or not....but it should be the same for people, eh?
(Let's not rush the short thing. My grandmother has lost over five inches in her lifetime and my mother is close behind her.)
I love the premise behind this post. It's making me think. Probably a lot of us have felt pretty small on the inside...
One of our favorite dogs is a chuihuahua who is one brave little giant of a dog when he's in someone's arms.
A chuihuahua? Okay, I've come up with a new breed. I meant Chihuahua and some days I can spell.
Colleen,
I am so thrilled that you are joining The Artistic Mother's Group.
We will be allowing two weeks for each project. But if you get behind, please don't worry. Just keep working a little each day. The whole point of this group is to develop the habit of doing art each day. It is also so we can encourage one another and be an accountability group. I personally need the accountability part of it. Knowing that others are coming to see what I'm up to is very motivational; otherwise, I may not finish it on my own. Some projects may be easier for you than others and may allow you to catch up. But if you don't, don't get discouraged. Just keep on going. This is a low pressure group. I want everyone to have fun and also enjoy visiting one another.
And please do a blog post about your participation in the group inviting others to join. Please give a link to my blog for those who may wish to join so they can come here and get the details and sign in. I am keeping a master list of all participants.
Each week do a post of your progress as you go through the book. When posting each week, please mention the group with a link to my blog. That way people can go to my blog and see the list of the other participants and click around to see their progress as well.
Please check my blog often for tips, notes of encouragement and exciting news. Coming soon will be a post about a Flickr group for our Mothers' art group and also a giveaway

I've always been 5'8". Until now.
5'7.5" - so even if you don't want to hear about it, Colleen, apparently I've accomplished being shorter. Must have put that other 1/2 inch into my waistline. :)
Love little-BIG Polo and the message you've shared today!
Hugs,
Zuzu

-chuckle- I'll be short Hon. Speak not of not being able to "get short." Ding-dang thing happens, with age. I've lost some of my always 5'3". And I'm not too happy about it, either. -pout-
^_^
That reminded me of Les Miserables where they have the song "Little People." It says, "we may look easy pickings but we got some bite! So never kick a dog because it's just a pup. We'll fight like twenty armies and we won't give up, so you'd better run for cover when the pup grows up!"
I am short and I wouldnt want to get any shorter...
A *short* hello as I try to catch up on my bloggy friends! Love ya as ya are Colleen! And Owen...he just can not figure out how the little guys do it..hehe.. cute!
Oooh, love puppy posts!! Thanks for the great pics!
Skye does that with Charlie when he is ready to go home. She walks him all over the house, it's so cute! I am 5'2" so your not short!
Now I use to be a 0 in HS. I'm not even a 10, closer to a 20.
